One of our wonderful friends and supporters, Jo Norris, will be heading off to Peru next year to trek the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu in aid of the Hearts & Minds Clowndoctors programme.  Friends of Jo, and staff at Hearts & Minds, decided to help her out with the training and make a few pennies towards her £5000 target in the process … so we're going to climb Ben Nevis, the highest peak in the UK, on May 26th 2012. 

 

For those of you who don't know, Hearts & Minds is the home of both the Clowndoctors and Elderflowers programmes in Scotland. Our mission is simple. We aim to improve the experience of people in hospital and in hospice, residential or respite care using clown-based techniques to encourage communication, interaction and laughter. We raise smiles all across Scotland, from Inverness down to the Borders. We currently make one day visit per month to Raigmore Hospital in Inverness, so as you can imagine that doesn’t give a lot of time for children to experience the joy of having them around, so we are looking to help Jo raise a staggering £5,000 so we can double the amount of visits we make to Raigmore Hospital and in turn doubling the smiles we raise too!

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page and please dig deep and give us a few pennies towards our climb!  We promise we will wear red noses to do our climb if we reach our target of £1000! Thanks for all your support!

Love and blister free feet,

Jo, Fiona, Claire, Magdalena,Janice, Shoina, Gareth, Andrew, Tom, Jenna, Caroline, Karen, Colin, Tim, Debbie, Jane
